The magical Village on Pollino
The River Tribe Village, one of the most sought after destinations on the Pollino. Not only for the adventurous but also for those who love comfort. Area Camping.
A wild nature that always takes us a little back in time, a canyon just a few steps away, the Lao River, emerald green, and uncontaminated vegetation. River Tribe Base Camp is becoming, year after year, one of the most sought after destinations. Not only for those who love slow travel, exploration, adapting to the harmonious context of nature, but also for those who prefer comfort and convenience without giving up the magic of nature. The primitive sense of freedom, combined with a unique ecosystem, makes our camping area a peculiarity of our territory. For years Antonio, Margherita, Francesco, Antonio, Giuseppe, Lara and the River Tribe staff have been working to improve the services offered by the structure and to make their guests feel at home. In addition to the 6 pitches for campers and caravans, the River Tribe Village offers its guests an area of 10,000 square metres. A treasure chest of biodiversity equipped with its own services where you can best spend your stay at the foot of Pollino. All created for those who, like you, are not satisfied with just visiting a place, but want to experience new emotions. The camping offers are within everyone's reach, choose your favorite and get involved!
The staircase leading to the lower part of the area catapults you into a completely isolated and unexpected space compared to the main area. An evocative space animated by colors and a unique level of biodiversity. Here, our flagship is our Glamping. A chic alternative to traditional camping that allows you to stay immersed in nature but without giving up the comforts of a hotel room. What are they? They are conical-shaped "teepee" tents, up to 3 meters high, made up of a frame of wooden poles. They are the new camping trend that combines glamor and comfort and retains all the charm of traditional camping. A pinch of extra comfort, a private space, memory mattress, kettle for herbal teas and clean linen for guests. A true luxury but in close contact with nature, this distinguishes them from classic structures and transforms it into an experiential overnight stay. Afternoon relaxation on the deckchairs, with a view of the forest and the river, breakfast served in the morning or a glass of wine next to the bonfire in the evening, are the small pleasures that will make your stay even more enjoyable.
Entering the village, after passing the yoga platform, the deities of the Hindu pantheon and their bright colors appear, floating, in the tents suspended between the trees. These are the most versatile camping tents in the world, spacious, comfortable and resistant. They can accommodate 2 to 3 people. Tentsile are eco-friendly shelters that combine the comfort and versatility of a hammock with the safety of a tent. Here are the new tree houses 2.0, where the only limit is the sky. By the way, just move the cover sheet and leave room for the micro-perforated transparent curtain to admire the constellations and the movement of the stars while lying down, two meters above the ground. In a context where nature is the true protagonist, with its colors and scents, within a grove and a natural lagoon in which to let yourself go in an unconventional way.
We have not forgotten the more traditional camping tents, the two- and three-person Canadian tents and, if you don't have one, just ask us. You can also settle a few steps from the shore of Lao River, near our natural beach, made of soft gravel and stones, here you will also find deckchairs to enjoy the sun of Pollino and the 'white' sound of the river in the background. What makes the heart beat, so to speak, that makes people and places, territories and traditions known. The River Tribe Village is a format destined to become a point of reference on the Pollino for all lovers of river sports, cycle tourism, campers and camping, culture and food and wine.
If you are accompanied by your four-legged friend, he will be welcome here. A dedicated area is available to them where they can freely enjoy their holiday. Specify it by telephone when booking. We are waiting for you!
